₦airaland Forum

Fellow Nairalanders,

Please let's try to be generous.The youths need empowerment and if we the youths keep hiding knowledge from each other,then Nigeria will not meet the 2020 technological goal.My internet is slow,but when it comes up i will download it(oracle 10g dumbs) and publish it on this page for everybody that needs it.In USA they have sites for freebies,those that publish it did not necesarily got it free,some buy it just to publish it for those who can't afford it.That is why everything works in USA because their youths are empowered.

So you want to paste dumbs on the site and for some reson you think thats a good thing right. I was going to post somthing offensive but I dont care anymore.

Set a BIOS password dude

Its not a good idea to use bios password because an authorized user only has to remove the bios in your system and your password is gone.

I have never been confused as a programmer. What really is the meaning of Rich Internet Applications? Did Macromedia just cook up this word to support Flash marketability or what? Does it mean an application running in the browser to make full use of the internet ot it means a desktop app that also makes full use of the net?

I'm currently developng a desktop appliation for my team (Bolton Wanderers, sorry i m a bolton fan) for fans al over the world to use, and of course it would make use of the net, would it be called an RIA too or would iTunes be called an RIA too?

iIn programmings, acronyms cud sometimes be confusing

I think its means using the full features of web 2.0 and web 3.0 and making your web application looklike and uses all the api that were primarily developed for desktop application(thats what I think).

I am new to forum discussion and so I am not used to the term used in forums like 2 cents, lol etc. So can you all please help me out and type down all the terms used or a link.
And yes I know this isnt the right section but just help me out.

At E3 god of war 3 date was specified and they say its coming out in 2009 on the ps3 and its going to feature a full hd 1080p, I cant wait I guess this a reason for me to finally get a Ps3 you can check out www.ign.com for the picture I have the pic but I dont know how to upload it.

;DWith what this poster did and with the reason for even starting this topic it should be more than lol it should be atsro numeric multiplication of lol. I am guessing his reply will take 10 more years let us all wait, who knows I might be married then with kids and then show my kids saying look the slowest typer in the world .

what does 'lol' mean

It took you nearly two years to understand it.

This guy is so funny, 2 years to reply a post probably the guy is a grandpa with a snail shaped hand so it will take more than 6 months to type 10 characters like S(takes 2weeks) L(4 months) O(1 month) W(1 week).

How many people have u seen. Do u know people get the dumps and still fail?

Yes, there is passforsure and it contains over 200 questions and answers funny enough it is the exact replica of an scjp exam so if can pass the dumps you most definately will pass the actual exam reason why question based exams seem valueless to me

If your plan for web development is to connect to an EIS and do some few SQL query for your frontend and a good presentation layer, then PHP will do just fine. My opinion.

We have what we called middleware software. PHP will be a good solution for that in correlation to web development. On the other hand if you are planning for ES (Enterprise Systems) like SAP, Java would be my recommendation. You would need to learn J2EE though. Learning JSP is not enough for J2EE.

J2EE has about this list of technologies to learn:

1. Java
2. JSP
3. Servlet
4. JSF
5. XML
6. JavaBean
7. JDBC
8. HTML
9. Javascript
10. CSS
11. SOAP
12. JavaMail
13. Java Message Service
14. EJB
15. JCA
16. JavaIDL
17. Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)
18. Java RMI/IIOP
19. Java Transaction Services (JTS) and Java Transaction API (JTA)

All these for developing Enterprise Web Application and related Web applicatopm

Thanks for your advice sbucareer I think I will go for java since I already have foundation experience with enterprise application
On a Second thought I think I will learn both because with that I have an added advantage

This is the game section not general discussion on sport. If continue this way I will report to the moderator.

Sorry, I just saw the modifications you made to your previous post, It wasnt much help why because as I stated earlier I don't have a Compiler to make changes to the java file. But the link worked well(I guess thats Ok). Thanks

No Offence to the boy but its just scjp, over 90% get dumps and just pass through it. Though I envy him for starting so young I wish I started earlier at is age
(At age 12 I was still playing game on my bro's linux system)

I do you create a package without a compiler .
If I am getting it all wrong please explain in details.

I cant run the applet I used IE and Mozzila, am I missing something though I got an exception stating that the runtime could not locate the class file
Note: I have downloaded the class, this are the errors. Please be patient with me.

malone5923,

Asfar as I know all the current codes above are fully debugged and fully functional. Copy and paste it in a text editor like Notepad or WordPad and save them as .java respectively and run.

As I said earlier I dont have a compiler right now but I will appreciate it if you post the executable file I only have a runtime. Thanks.

Just want to share this piece of code with Java enthusiast. It is about Desktop programming. Mind you this code is not compiled or tested. It was typed directly onto the forum message editor. If it doesn't compile when you copy and paste it, you would need to debug it.

Sbucareer or javaprince if is not going to be much of a problem, can you please type the errors you might have received for the first code I just want to know if I can debug it. I should have done it myself but the computer I am currently using doesnt have a compiler.
Well if is going to be a problem I can always wait till I get home and use my own computer(which has a compiler).

Do you mean the real ATM or the normal prototype ATM used as projects for starting developers. Either way what programming language do you intend to use.

Just like one of the poster to your thread said

Get a degree to help your move up through the ranks faster
and get a better pay for your self ,

A university degree is good if u know what u want to do
before u get in , If u want to become a programmer
then the best course to do is computer science because don't let me
deceive you computer science will expose to a lot and the hiden thins about computers
and the various areas to explore, It will also build your analytical & logical minds and makes
u more broadminded in IT rather than just being a 'programmer!', with a computer science degree
you can rise to management position of any IT/Telecoms company in the industry.

When u finally get to the university in Nigeria or Abroad you have toi help yourself a great deal
don't get caried away by what u're taught in the skul, learn many thins and do some certifications
to help you,

Dont mind those people that are saying a degree is not worth, it is worth more than get a good job
look at the country politics , it is the turn of the Degree hoolders, Doctors, Engineers and Scientist
its no more a game for crooks and illiterates.

Moreso not everyone can pay 400,000 naira for a course in NIIT and the likes

Who said NIIT is the only mean of becoming a efficient developer and why does everthing 80% of you nairaland programmers have to be about getting a good job, why cant you just do it for the love. That is why we will never grow because everybody wants to work for somebody and earn change then after spending 10 years he/she sets up is company then start erarning chicken change upgraded to two, why cant you just sit down and be creative and do some thing that helps the country and does not already exist and you all call yourself developers yet you rely on readymade things when you are asked what projects have you being involved you say payroll system etc, how many of you have being involved in the development of a new method or syntax in sun java community or something new. This is just my point of view and this those not mean I am the best developer I am still a beginner in programming(who is willing to learn more).

Make I enter pidgin for this 1!

I nowa finish design my own language o but e name na Tofa. Tofa Programming Language. The ting suppose join the features of Chafa, Sea++ and Yahoozee!

Make una think of am na! The ting gon fit work anywhere, small pikin go fit understand am and the ting go dey email shege!!

The rhetoric around development of person own language get as e be!

I don reash the part when them talk say define properties. I don begin start with all the property when I see for Lekki for one Nollyfilm.

After that 1 na function remain , I don already go 3 party this year so I get plenty fior that 1.

Make una pray for me. Naija must get im own program langauage ni Olorouko Jesu! (AMIN)

Eko O oni baje!!

I speak pidgin moretimes than I blink my eye still I don't know what you were trying to point out. So please repeat your comment in English and dont write pidgin without explaning it in English again.

Hmm not even a single word did I understand maybe I am not a certified pidgen speaker anymore. Maybe I will so sign up for a course in pidgen and get a professional cerificate from any authorized prometric center. Those anybody here know one.

Programming Language: JAVA.

Why the hiss? All I asked was a simple question, why do you think your language is superior to others?

Your name obviously depicts that u're a java addict, so tell me what you can do with java that I can't do with .NET.

Try portability for starters.

@ Akolalawole

I am guessing you are trying to defend Nigerian Educational system but you just messed it up yourself withyou last comment I quote"No matter what, computer science graduates must be able to do simple programming" 4 years + strike and all you can brag about is atleast they can do a simple program, your first term in University should give enough enlightment to develop a simple program(not after 4 years)

@javalove
I have to tell you the truth NIIT(dont Know of Aptech) books are not updated regularly and lack enough information to enable theire students develop complex programs moreso they have students for teachers though NIIT is a good start but is not a halfway end. I guess you went to NIIT and after finishing you must have covered the java how to program series book.

@javalove,
wasup with your links

http://www.jajitech.net/apps/s_dev_mv.php?s=0
through to
http://www.jajitech.net/apps/s_dev_mv.php?s=8

Was browsing through your portfolio, but my browser hit dry land in the mid-ocean of your website Embarrassed

I am impressed with what you have done though, and still want to see the others

Have the same problem. And I saw the extension for your web page is php maybe you can help me decide which is best java,php or both.

meeennnn, i'm so happy i have met my likeminds.

don't be decieved my brother. u have to live your own world, define the rules and abide by them. u set your own laws for success and believe in them. I would not tell u to opt out or not but don't be carried away by the certificate ish thing naija is known for. all u need is skill as a programmer not pali.

i have once been in your shoes and meenn i didnt think for long, what i did? i didnt even bother attending Cheesy Smiley. Dem call family meeting for my head but all na opata. this was way back in 2001. instead i attended NIIT and did a 2and a half years course and i bet you my father is soooo proud of me today. Java don carry me go places wey graduate no fit enter.

If you have a dream, pursue it. if u need a pali to achieve the dream, remain in school. if u don't, men get out this minute,

check www.jajitech.net to find out more,

Thank God I met you I had and still have the same problem, my family, friends and some individuals has being bugging me about the school issue though I have pointed all my ambitions to them still never seem to understand even my closest friend is calling me a failure , but still is not as bad as yours(java prince) calling a Family meeting for you thats massive and look at you now from your comments you have being given and can proudly say that you are better than most of all the processor in Nigeria who still use jdk1 for compilation. Why does everybody thinks I wont succeed they all say " go to university and get a good job" why does everything have to be about a good job. That why they will all waste there 4(univetsity) +1(Nysc)+1(Strike) and some stupid hopefulls 2 years(Masters) wasting their time learning Fortran(God dont even get me started on the rubbish they teach this students).
Destiny follow your dreams and join the world of programming I have being programming for 2 years(only got serious about It Six months ago) but still I will never regret my decision for not attending any University in Nigeria

Warning: If you havent being involded in proogramming desting better try it out first so that you know what you venturing into if not you might regret your actions.

My elder brother has being disturbing me about learning php because he thinks is the best web programming language but I am already into java(First Love) and my programming plan are already tight. So experts who have used php before should advice me if its any good and worth my time

Nigeria University is rubbish but in nigeria and abroad you have to learn pascal

Here comes the job searchers again who said programming is all about making money. As for me University in Nigeria is a waste of time and money instead pursue your dreams and if you are good enough you will stand out from the crowd.

I've added a full source code of my picture viewer, compile it and run it. You can modify the code and extract the source code you need for your image uploading. This implementation is better than the one suggested by the earlier post which determines the image before runtime. This one will show you a file chooser so that you can select the image you want to see. but it contains some bugs left for you to tackle so that you can improve(i did not add an image observer) so if the image is not properly rendered, maximize and minimize the window. happy coding,

HELP ME? CANT UPLOAD IMAGE WITH JAVA

AM JUST LEARNING IT .

Mail me 2ru stephnelson2000@gmail.com

or stephnelson2000@yahoo.com

I am Sorry but the poster asked for help to upload image not use a Filechoser but I think its great because he killed two answers with one question.

This is a link to a lot of IT materials/slides/ebook/simulations including Java, Microsoft, the whole Cisco suitees and many more. I shouldn't be doing this, but this is my way of saying I want Nigeria I.T to grow.

Yes you shouldn't, if you want Nigeria I.T to grow give them a direct link to where they can buy books or what shops they can get good books. This links you are given out are someone's hardwork. I am not rich neither do I get any thing I want but if I want a very good book I buy it, its quite sad Nigerian dont use that word 'buy' instead they prefer 'free', free ebook download, free game download free everthing.

For all you guys who want to learn programming, say in 5 days? Here is a wonderful essay by a renowned professional. He actually recommends 10 good years! Say, it's the best advice for everyone. Um, just wondering, the gurus in the house (identify urselves please), how many years did it take u to learn urs? Just curious! Smiley

If you are ready to desipline yourself and dont have much to occupy your time you can be an efficient programmer in 2 years max for any Language

Hello guys please help me am just so cool with that GOD OF WAR I & II. but am just stuck at a very particular place.

On part I i am at the gate where the Big Boss was like picking up some things and poring some black things. i could not go back to anywhere again. I got to a gate where i was told that the gate cannnot be opened on that side, that it can onlty be opened on the other side. plsease put me through.

On part II i can't easyly remember where i was stucked.

for fast communication please you can just send me a text and i will call you please.

From your driscription and dont know where you are so I need a pictorial representation of where you are on god of war 1

And on god of war 2 if you have activated all the switches you just need to stand between the first two horses(the place where you turn the lever that activated the green,yellow,purple,blue lock) it should fling you back and you will need to complete a brief mini game thats it
